Ameriflight, Cheiftan, BE99, and SA227 Captains....

Just posted on www.ameriflight.com , Chieftan, BE99, and SA227 captains for open domicile.

Not sure what that (open domicile) means. Good luck guys. Good job to get experience.

I believe "open domicile" means "we're not going to tell you where you're going till it's time to go". Good opportunity, especially with all the furloughs going on. If they didn't require an ATP for the metro, I might throw my hat in the ring, too...

Apply for a metro position anyway if you want to. I still believe you'd be a special case with your MU-2/Garrett time. They'd already know you have big brass ones atleast and thats one of the minimum requirements.

I applied, Im short of the ME and turbine times by about 200 hours but I have the ATP and Lear type rating so we will see. I flew freight at FLX so that might help.

I'm thinking of applying as well, the only thing I am worried about is the lack of steam gauge flying. I guess I'm too used to glass, FMS, etc. Don't think I wouldn't even make it through the sim portion. I would have to spent quite a bit of time in a sim. Either way, would be a good way to get some TPIC time.

c172captain · January 20th, 2009, 21:20

Hopefully they'll need a whole gripload of new training captains for all these newhires... mwuahahah!

positiveR8 · January 21st, 2009, 03:18

How quick to the training captains get upgraded to a flying spot usually? Is there any advantage to starting out as a training captain?

How long has it been since you flew something with analog guages?

I would stay on Unemployment!!

LOGS · January 26th, 2009, 16:25

What do they have larger than the metro? I could later on get in on the pretty easily but I wouldn't if that's where it stopped at.

Boris Badenov · January 26th, 2009, 16:41

Brakillyas and a lear or two.

You are probably right. I'm gettig $1600+/month to sit on my butt in unemployment. Kind of ridiculous, that is more than workig as a CFI, Great Lakes, etc.

It's a King Air 200 used for pax. charters. You won't see it unless you're a training captain, they'll usually give them Beech 99 SIC's to sit in the right seat on charters. I managed to have the worst emergency of my career in that plane, even with how well it's maintained. Bad luck I guess.

As soon as you have the time.

I know of two training captains personally that went from the Chieftain, to the 99 when they hit 1200 hours and the Metro when they hit 1250 hours.

The advantage is that you get on the seniority list quicker than waiting around to have 1,200 hours. It does suck, though, in that you don't fly a ton. I think I flew 200 hours in 10 months as a training captain in the Chieftain.

skatergeek · January 26th, 2009, 22:42

Has anybody got a call yet? I keep applying, and still no call...

Piperflyer · January 26th, 2009, 23:45

I did three times, no calls yet.
1800 tt, 900 multi, 1000 turbine (300 tpic)

Would love a California or SLC base....

jtrain609 · January 27th, 2009, 01:20

LOGS · January 27th, 2009, 04:08

Another question...do they still give out training contacts if you go in already with the type?

I'll give them a call today, thanks.

CRJDriver · January 28th, 2009, 20:26

If someone would start out in the PA31, how long would it take to get the BE99, assuming you are willing to be based anywhere? Also, did they always have a 1 year contract?
